I am so excited to take you to the northern most tip of Denmark, to a charming fishing village, to one of my favorite museums in the world! In the late 19th-century, Skagen (pronounced “skein” as in “skein of yarn”) became the home to a colony of Scandinavian artists. Inspired by French Realism, the artists found their subjects on the beaches, on the moors, in the cabins of the local fishermen and, of course, in their own familiar surroundings. “The Skagen Painters,” as they were called, included artists such as Peder Severin Krøyer, Anna & Michael Ancher, Viggo Johansen and Christian Krohg.
|
|
These early advocates of modern Scandinavian painting were in direct opposition to the traditional academic painting and the Danish Golden Age tradition.
Explore the local museum. Learn more about these masters’ works. Tour highlights of the Museum’s collection.
